Becoming a Talent Magnet

Leaders in HR and Talent Acquisition have long endured a shortage of research-based guidance when developing programs to attract and hire and researchers have focused heavily on the selection and assessment space, despite the urgent business need for solid guidance on how to also source, attract and onboard talent. Rather than rely on vendors with their own agendas, Becoming a Talent Magnet offers an objective view, proven practices and leading edge examples, accelerating your organization’s time to develop data-based practices in the recruiting space. Becoming a Talent Magnet is a book intended for HR generalists and professionals across the talent and recruiting space who wish to develop or elevate their programs and processes. This book offers strategic guidance, research-based advice, concrete actions, concepts, and tips from senior level practitioners who have led and built these programs at cutting edge companies. This rich set of practical tools is supplemented by a healthy dose of thought leadership from top I/O psychologists who weave in the latest organizational science. Each chapter can stand alone, so the book can be consumed selectively in modules, depending on the needs of the user.
